Growing up in the digital age of filmmaking, I'm as guilty as anyone of overshooting.

I think in 'Escape Fire,' we really look at the military as a microcosm for the rest of America.

If you're going to see 'City of Ghosts' because you want to understand everything about the Syrian conflict and how to fix it, then it's the wrong film to see.

Sundance is incredible and has been very important for my career as a filmmaker, but it's also not the only route to success. There are a ton of great movies that don't get in and go on and do wonderfully.
